We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail [President Bush]
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Chancellor Schroder apologized to the US for the Hitler comparison. No word as to whether the German minister who made the remarks lost her job.
Tornadoes raked across Indiana yesterday afternoon as part of a severe weather front moving eastward.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Ok, details, please. There is an internatational law aspect to this.
Have the Israelis either officially captured Arafat, or are they in the process of exiling him?
And, does this mean they no longer recognize the Palestinian Authority (this is going to complicate things with Washington)?
"Virtually nothing left, and when Arafat comes out, he'll have to find some other place to hang out." words of some Fox News commentator.
I think we're moving into new territory now.
Man ... and to think I waited in line at the pharmacy .... picking up *sparkles* pills ... and had to listen to a guy complan it was taking too long for his prescription to be filled ...
Perspective needs a bit of refreshing, I think ....
OK ... what did I forget?... *grins* ....
Sounds like Arafat doesn't want to leave....?
Commentator saying he hopes the IDF has a very good plan to bring him out alive, and NOT as a martyr.
illstillbe, getting medecine for your pet...
Hello, I'd like to order a refill for Whiskers ---...Always seems odd!
In fact ... it is what I think I have been looking for ... even beyond Impeachment ... and why do that to such a lovely fruit?!
What we are seeing, this day ... is the complete and utter destruction of any hope wjc ever had for a "legacy".
All of his miserable life, he always needed enablers ... is that a word?! ... to get him from one place to another ... with NO moral code to guide him, he sought the easiest path .. with trickery and lies ...
He can not even claim a seat next to .... Jimmy Carter ... Jimmy Carter ... that idiot ... when all is said and done.
Finally ... finally ... I can honestly say I am done with him ...
More than anything else, he spent time on this .... pulling his daughter in ... letting this terrorist appear before the UN ARMED ... with no remarks ... touchy-feely negotiations which could never work ... if directed by a man without a soul ... as he ...
He's toast ... forever ... and more again in history ... this pimple on the face of mankind will remain exactly that ... and I somehow feel as if I have sprouted wings ... free of him, I am ... it only took the destruction of a large part of Israel and Palestine ... and the incineration/mutilation of over 3,000 people here to do the job ...
In an odd way ... this is a very good day.
I will be most interested to read the editorials in the coming days ... maybe he should have used his daughter more ... you think?!
Thanks to all of you for your prayers and good wishes. Indianapolis and Central Indiana were hit really bad with this storm!The fire station a half-mile from our house had the front facade shorn off, and the radio tower was wrapped around the building like a ribbon. There are many trees down in the north end of our subdivision, and lots of roof damage up there.
We are very grateful that no one was killed. You cannot imagine how bad this was unless you were in it.
Story of the day is the lady who had her 4-yr-old son in a van with her...headed for her church because the mall was evacuated...got to the parking lot of the church and HER VAN WAS PICKED UP BY THE TORNADO and DEPOSITED 3 BLCOKS AWAY! Eyewitnesses saw the van flying through the air above the rooftops!! Both she and her son are fine. Hand of God, in my opinion.
Got to go to my sister's home for supper. Just wanted to check in and let everyone know we are ok! Love to all of you!
Oh! My husband just hearing the news wants to know why anyone would live in such a dangerous state!!! LOL! (Remember, he is a Hoosier, too.)
Really, Indiana isn't all that dangerous....
THAT is all the more reason to dislike the VIQUEENS!
< Big Grin >
Sorry. I just couldn't resist.
For good measure and a thorough washing of hands , can we throw in Warren Christopher and Madeleine Albright, too?
All of them....too bizarre and stupid for belief.
Time to go...
UOx42 has indeed carved a lasting legacy for himself.
ISB, very good summation. Thank you for putting me in the same paragraph with oldngray. He and I work for the same organization and have the same boss. We're just in different locals.
Miss Marple, y'all take care. I'm glad to see that you made it through the storm. Tornadoes scare the willies outta me!
Yesterday the Justice Department named Saudi Arabia as a nation the harbors terrorists. That is a whole new ball game. The USA has been looking the other way for Saudi Arabia for decades. We have been looking the other way so long we have a stiff neck. If we have deterimined that in our fights in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are not really on our side, then there is no reason to not ENCOURAGE Israel to solve its Palistinian problem by what ever means are needed.
I believe our goal is to change most of the Muslim governments in the middle east until all Muslim nations are friends of the USA and ISRAEL.
If none of the current major Muslim states governments are to be our friends, then there is no reason for us not to use Israel to help us change the leadership of all or some Muslim nations.
If that be true then having Israel change the Government of the Palistinians and perhaps Syria, while we change Iraq , Saudi and Iran is a good thing for us.
It would put a whole new face on war and peace in the middle east not to mention world oil prices.
The mantra for decades is we can't "tilt" too much in the direction of Israel without it costing us much needed support in the arab world. That has no meaning if all we have is zero support in the arab world. What it may mean is there is a new and serious change in us policy toward all nations and all interests.
If we and Israel play really tough that smacking sound you hear is assorted world leaders practicing how to kiss our rump.
Help yourself.:)
It's not original, though; even my brother, Mister Last-Of-The-Die-Hard-Vikings-Fans, has been known to utter it once it a while.:)
This reinforces what I was saying. if we in effect have no arab support except Kuwait, Afghanistan Pakistsan and a couple of the minor Muslim states, then it much to our advantage to use Israel as our fellow warrior.
This may be a major message to the rest of the world. Mess with the Bush and you'll get whacked.
I do not believe that Israel acts alone. The Jewish state has few friends in the world .... as France and Germany have so recently proved. They would think very long and hard before going against our will. I don't think they are going against our will. I think they are responding to our request.
I am not sure that I agree with your last sentence. Israel has a history of doing what it wants, even if it has to stand alone. The Gulf War was indeed the first time Israel has ever held back from defending itself. I'm not sure they will feel the result was in their best interests.
I am glad that we are an ally of Israel. They are, and always have been, a formidable opponent. It is in OUR best interest to be on THEIR side.
No matter the "why" of the situation or the "who is allied with whom" of it, the US and Israel should work together to change the governments of the Arab nations.
